laughing at the 1776 report ama

its so bad

for one, an extremely misleading statement about french nationality

also could you imagine if there was anyone else in North America besides those 2.5 million subjects? the authors of the study clearly don't, since THEY DONT FUCKING MENTION NATIVE AMERICANS ONCE IN THE REPORT

this is just. false. nothing even approaching the evil of chattel slavery was ever the norm in almost any society

what?
no seriously
what?
what?

what?

full quote because im so fucking confused

i'd like to note that the closest it comes to discussing capitalism is this discussion topic

okay what

based neocon class reductionists question mark? /j

"Everywhere American troops went, they embodied in their own ranks and brought with them the principles of the Declaration, liberating peoples and restoring freedom. "

"Communism understands itself as a universalist movement of global conquest"

these quotes are on the same page btw

also who did they get to tell them communism (as practiced by the soviet union) was universalist? trotsky? gdi the trot to neolib pipeline is real and started at the source didnt it

/j

i'm not gonna clip them talking about affirmative action or the equal employment opportunity commission (neither of which is mentioned by name but you know exactly what theyre talking about) but it's exactly what you'd expect

"doesn't mean ignoring the faults in our past"

> doesn't mention native americans or even a tangential topic once

okay what the fuck
ive just been skimming but this is. literally christian supremacy

if i didnt know better, id say this was a massive tone change from earlier in the report (2nd & 3rd pics)

"any time teachers or administrators promote political agendas in the classroom"
bitch you think putting a condom on a stick is political

(to be clear it *is* political, but they clearly use the word in a way that means 'bad' rather than 'has bearing on governance')

... please tell me you aren't begging your conclusion with a quote from one of the most incompetent presidents in us history

i want to fucking [CONTENT CENSORED TO ALIGN WITH TWITTER'S TOS] reading this

"wildness of our continent" i fucking swear if i saw one of the authors on the street i would [REDACTED]

what?

im sorry

WHAT

I HAVE A LETTER FOR YOU TO FUCKING READ
TELL ME WHAT THE FIRST FUCKING LINE SAYS
https://www.africa.upenn.edu/Articles_Gen/Letter_Birmingham.html

the only time in this they ever mention religions that aren't christianity is to say that pagan (read: european pre-christian) governments were bad and that 'temples and mosques' are places of community engagement

not even the decency to say 'synagogue'

holy fuck they cited gramsci

also i have never heard of this marcuse fellow and the fact they mention him entirely to talk about the Frankfurt School feels incredibly dogwhistley
